Can we all please admit that we merely tolerate keyboard as a gaming input device because of the precision that mouse provides? (Except maybe some special cases, like RTS) It's a glorified typewriter, and we (PC gamers) use it only because at some point, it was all that we had and we just got used to it. There must be something better than a panel of buttons.

Azeron cyborg is really nice but takes a bit to setup you keybinds for each game since even between fps games they can't decide what key opens a door.

On the azeron your thumb has a joystick which is w a s d then that leaves all your other fingers with multiple keys each so you don't really have to move your hand around that much. Still need a keyboard around for typing though in chat or a game where you name stuff

Yes! That's the kind of stuff I hope goes mainstream and supported more. Something purpose-built not for typing, but for gaming.

And I'm sure it would be quite comfortable to have a TKL (or some other compact KB) between that and a mouse and switch between inputs when necessary.
